A beautiful note from a recipient to her egg donor

“I have wanted to make contact with you for a long time, but I just haven’t been able to find the right words to convey what I feel in my heart. I think of you all the time. I wonder how your prince and princess are going. Whether you understand how much joy you have brought to the lives of your recipients.

Our daughters are just beautiful. I look deep into their blue eyes and think of you. You said they would be perfect and they are…truly amazing. I love to hold them and play with their little fingers and toes. Pat their warm little heads and smell their baby skin. I still have to pinch myself that my dream has come true – twice.

After the tragedy of losing my children, I struggled on so many levels for years. Finally I have come out of that dark, empty place to a life that is rich in purpose and happiness. I can only sincerely thank you and the other amazing people who have made this a reality.

My sweet girls are very different. One has dark hair, the other light. In temperament one is feisty whilst her sister is laid back. One has a cry that sets off the neighbourhood dogs in the middle of the night, whilst the other snorts like a piglet. My eldest daughter just adores smothering them with sloppy kisses and cuddles. She wants more babies(!)

We are having our darlings baptised in a couple of weeks. It will be lovely to celebrate their precious lives with our family and friends. Being their mummy is such a privilege and I am loving every moment. Yes, even in the wee hours of the night, I really don’t mind. Please know that I am committed to being the best mummy I can be. I might not always get it right, but I will keep trying and learn from my mistakes. Above all I will love, cherish and support them – always.

I wish you an abundant life, filled with peace, joy and love. Your incredible gift has transformed my life and I cannot thank you enough.
